MUSINGS ON THE VERDICT DAY

Thus spake the saint :
verdict or no verdict,
least bothered He/She,
None of His/Her business
and two hoots.
Who wins
who loses
least bothered He/She
None of His/Her business.
Debates,
squabblings,
violence,
clashes,
wars fought
all in His/Her name
none of His/Her business.
Temples,
churches,
mosques,
all built
worshipped,
paid obeisance,
oblations
flower garlands
precious ornaments
in His/Her name
least bothered He/She
None of His/Her business.
All debates,
squabbles,
clashes,
violence,
wars fought
in His/Her name
None of His/Her business.
Look inward,
reflect,
in the Kovil (sanctum) of your heart
light a lamp or a candle
everyday
thereHe/She is
listen to Her/Him
and
pay obeisance,
oblations.
Verdict or no verdict,
winner or loser
all in the name of Him/Her
underlying all these
lie,
selfishness,
greed,
ulterior motives,
vested interests,
craze for unlimited power,
but who cares?
